in Capricorn

Pluto will be in Capricorn for everyone on Earth from Jan. 25, 2008 to June 14, 2008, and then from Nov. 26, 2008 to Jan. 21, 2024. The last time it was there was from Nov. 8, 1762 to Dec. 1, 1778 during the American Revolutionary War. Pluto actually entered Capricorn at the end of the French and Indian War (1754-1763) that determined which colonial power would dominate America, and in which the colonists tasted what it was like to be mobilized (albeit in the British cause). At the 1763 Treaty of Paris, all French Territory east of the Mississippi was ceded to the British. The British immediately reserved the land it had just been ceded for exclusive use by Native Americans. Although the purpose of this "Royal Proclamation" was to maintain some control over the 13 colonies’ westward expansion, it was, in fact, the beginning of the end. Shortly thereafter the passage of the British "Intolerable Acts" (the 1764 Sugar Act and the 1765 Stamp and Quartering Acts) led to the forming of the First Continental Congress to consider united resistance.

Governments and the Earth (both represented by Capricorn) will be in upheaval (Pluto) during this period, and much that is outdated and ready to die will fall. Revolution and anarchy will surface more than in the years before, and the people (Pluto ruling the public and the anarchic mob) will be heard with a louder voice. This is a time when governments will have to keep close watch on their thermonuclear devices, also symbolized by Pluto.
